Sion's got way too many mechanics working against him to be good.

1). Remove the gong noise from his ult. There's already a HUGE amount of counter-play to his ult. The gong noise is absolutely unacceptable considering how the ultimate works.

2). Sion's Q is incredibly impractical to use. The thing takes too long to charge to get the full damage and CC out of it, and can be interrupted too easily, and the range and width of the spell is far too small. Even the 1 second version of the spell doesn't do enough damage.

3). Why is Sion's base health so small when his HP-scaling on his Soul Furnace is really abysmal? This makes no sense. Why give a champion scaling if you're just going to gut the base stats? This is why Cassiopeia is failing. The exact reason.

4). I would like to see Sion's AP Ratio's increase WITHOUT NERFING ANYTHING ELSE ON IT.

Sion's very fun to play. But he's not very effective.

I actually agree with some of these points. The gong on his ult needs to go. Everyone can hear it and seeing how easy it can be to dodge sions ultimate, it's a pretty safe bet that you can remove it. I mean why doesn't Rengar have a giant gong on his ultimate? I'd actually say Rengar's ult is a bit more terrifying because it's extremely effective and you really cant miss with it.

I would love to see Sion's base health be normal. I think health scaling like Sion's should actually make you feel like it's an advantage and not a disadvantage. Right now when I see the numerical values, it feels like a massive disadvantage. I mean what I'd love to do on Sion is build things that dont have a lot of health on it because Sion has health scaling. But the fact you have so little health to begin with makes this impossible and doesn't make much sense.

I would like to see Sion's Q be easier to utilize myself. I actually max Sion's Soul Furnace first because it's better guaranteed damage doubles as defense and scales with your health and the enemies health. His Q is just super unreliable right now. I mean for an ability like that, His Q Should at least have some invulnerability's to CC attached to it. **Like When Sion's Charging his Q, he cannot be knocked up, knocked backed/forward, or pushed in anyway. **The idea is that sion's immoveable while using this ability, and being a giant big guy of doom, it makes a lot of sense.

I'd like to see Sion's AP Ratio's go up a bit more. I think Iceborn Gauntlet is really the only AP item you'd buy on him, and I just don't get enough "oomph" form it.
